Mike Maimone's Mookie's Big Gay Mixtape and Moony's Podunk.

 I contributed to a discussion on recent musical releases that deserved some more attention. Please do explore...

At the movies: Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny.

 

It's disheartening how I am not picking the hits this Summer. I mean, success has nothing to do with quality. But it shakes one's certainties. I very much liked this film.

 A stone classic, on 35mm, in a theatre.
